Rules

1. Only yes/no objective questions may be asked.
2. If the answer is unclear, question master must clarify why.
3. One guess per person does not count against the total, but additional guesses by the same person do. After all 20 questions are up, three total guesses are allowed regardless of whether guesser has previously guessed, with one free guess per person who hasn't previously guessed. There is a 72 hour time limit from the answer to Q20.
4. Please choose persons real or fictional that are not horribly obscure. No repeats.
5. Whoever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master. If they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.
6. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, on the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.

GO!

Three criteria in one question is a bit of a stretch. Real person?

Not reallym 38 out of 93 so far are in that category, 40.86% as opposed to 12.5% expectation. It was worth a punt. Costs 1 question to possibly save 2. Net expectation of 22.5% question gain.

Obviuosly can't do it every time as no one would select such.

But worth a punt now and again.

I think there were at least 2 scum on me yesterday so my current guess would be brain TFB lfischl

If brain is badtown the TFb, fish, and either Bona or BK.

I think brain is the only possible ghugbusser.
